CRAP
Won't
be able to do much stuff for awhile. First thing Monday morning
I'll
be under the knife. One-eye monster surgery. No exercise or
lifting
for more than a week. I have to tell you that I am already nervous as
hell, because I don't let anybody touch it ever; it's a phobia.
MoSup has been putting
pre-op drops (of three meds) into my eye, 4 td, for three days
now.
She needs a crowbar to keep my eye open, so how the hell am I going to
react when having to stare at a light on the ceiling while they cut the
lens out of my eye? The answer is they clamp it open.
That's like
being in a state of paralysis while the medical examiner saws open your
skull. Worst thing I've ever had to do, but I can't even see the
target at 25 yards anymore. My left eye isn't as bad, but gets
worse
by the month, so that one gets done next month.
If you've been through cataract surgery, you know that you
basically have 2 choices of replacement
lenses. The $1000 lens comes in either far-sighted or near-sighted.
The $3000 lens supposedly focuses much like natural vision, so you
don't need glasses at all. Insurance pays for option A, the other
comes out of my pocket, so I've chosen to be near-sighted since
most
of my time is spent reading or the computer. I'll wear glasses
for
driving.
Pray for me. That I don't cry like a baby tomorrow, and have to
be restrained.
